Satellites could be used to beam down powerful data encryption keys that rely on entangled photos. The vacuum of space could solve the distance problem encountered in sending quantum signals on Earth. Scientists are pushing to create a space-based quantum communications network that could enable impossible-to-monitor transmissions. In doing so, they might make it possible

Si l’un des deux droits, le droit de l’écrivain et le droit de l’esprit humain, devait être sacrifié, ce serait, certes, le droit de l’écrivain, car

No matter whether payment of the public passenger transport ticket is made via a smartphone app or whether a prepaid card is used for the public swimming pool or a bonus card for the supermarket: Many people already open their “electronic purses” every day. However, most of them are not aware of the fact that

Prices were on average more than two-and-a-half times cheaper than the US. Drug makers could pull out of research in Britain because the Government is too focused on rewarding “breakthrough” medicines, the head of the industry’s trade body has claimed.  Stephen Whitehead, chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), said that

A new laser-based technique for making flexible, durable and highly conductive electrochemical capacitors Advances in delivering and storing electricity are crucial to the future of electric cars and otherwise reducing reliance on energy produced from burning fossil fuels. Yet a powerful means of running electronics that can charge and discharge quickly while also storing large amounts

Some of the elements could start actual development within six years   A driver’s mood can greatly affect his or her performance on the road and spell the difference between an easy cruise or an accident-prone dash. Taking this universal behavior into careful consideration, leading Japanese automobile company Toyota is now developing an intelligent sensing

As smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and other smart devices become more prevalent in our lives, computer scientists have raised concerns that these network-enabled devices, if not properly secured, could be co-opted to steal data or invade user privacy. Now researchers at the University of Washington have demonstrated how it is possible to transform a smart

Regulators in California, home to more residential solar customers than any other state, agreed on Thursday to retain a system that compensates users of rooftop solar panels for their excess electricity. The decision was closely watched by energy officials and executives across the country, who are grappling with huge shifts in the power industry stemming
